AOC calls on Senate to say whether justices lied about Roe during hearing

Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Ted Lieu (D., Calif.) recently called on the Senate to take a position on whether conservative Supreme Court justices lied during their confirmation hearings regarding their willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The pair claimed in the letter to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer on Friday that Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh “directly lied” to members of the Senate.

“We request that the Senate make its position clear on whether Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch lied under oath during their confirmation hearings,” the letter said.

“We must call out their actions for what they were before the moment passes, so that we can prevent such a mendacious denigration of our fundamental rights and the rule of law from ever happening again,” it added.
